Automated language proficiency testing

Generative AI models like Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-3 by OpenAI can play a significant role in automated language proficiency testing. For example, these models can generate questions in various languages testing grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic understanding. Their ability to generate multiple realistic responses to a given prompt can also power mock conversations for evaluating listening and speaking skills. Furthermore, they can assess an examinee's answers, comparing them with correct responses generated by the AI.

Similarly, AI image generators can be used for visual interpretation tests. For instance, students can be shown AI-generated images and asked to describe them in the target language. The AI can then evaluate the accuracy, language usage, and coherence of their descriptions.

Such applications can make language proficiency testing highly scalable, interactive, and personalized, making it an effective tool in language learning technologies.

This is an example application you can build using a tool called Clevis: an Automated Language Proficiency Test. The application generates tailored language tests to evaluate a user's linguistic abilities. Applications within the same realm can be crafted using Clevis, hence broadening the spectrum of the tool usage.

The first step takes advantage of the power of OpenAI's GPT-3 model, ChatGPT, which generates a subject and crafts a test as per the user's language preference and level. This is done in the step labeled 'PROMPT_ChatGPT.'

The user is then asked to input their language preference and level in a step labeled Text Input. This information is vital as it guides the creation of a suitable test.

The Http Request step then fetches sample questions and answers for the language proficiency test that has been formulated. These serve as the basis for the test that the user will take.

This application then prompts ChatGPT in a step indicated as ChatGPT to provide detailed explanations and additional info for each problem. Finally, a step labeled Display Output shows the generated language proficiency test, inclusive of questions, options, and explanations.

With this, an automated and efficient language proficiency test is created catered to user demands.
